Based upon what I'm reading, if Knots does not have the ability to stop spam and it will ultimately become more expensive due to spam than the answer is Core or the next bitcoin node software that solves this issue.

Just because your fence doesn't keep all the thieves out, does it mean you should just tear the fence down?
It's saying that Knots makes spam more expensive for the spammer. Knots also lets you set your own policy to make it as expensive to them as you want for inclusion in your mempool, which has a slight effect that direction on the whole network.
